Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, who received the order from Li Longji, adopted the correct combat method, which was to defend Tongguan.

This step made the enemy troops who came from afar unable to succeed in their plan to fight quickly and decide quickly. Moreover, Tongguan, as a barrier to Chang'an, also strongly protected Chang'an.

However, as mentioned earlier, Li Longji in his later years had already become wise and decisive, no longer as wise and decisive as his youth.

However, some evil villains said bad things about Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing in front of Li Longji, slandering them in collusion with the Anshi rebels, so they did not fight head-on with the rebels.

Without careful investigation, Li Longji beheaded the two of them in public, causing the court to lose two experienced and brave generals!

Later, Li Longji sent the elderly Geshuhan to command the army in Tongguan to resist the enemy.

At that time, there were 200,000 troops guarding Tongguan!

Geshuhan correctly judged the situation between the two sides and believed that being able to stick to the enemy was the strategy to defend against the enemy. As the days went on, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also lost patience with them.

In addition, the incompetent Yang Guozhong was inciting Xuanzong to issue an imperial edict to force Geshuhan to fight. After receiving the imperial edict, Geshuhan knew that he would be defeated in this battle, but because of the majesty of the imperial power, he had to lead his troops to fight.

In the end, he was defeated and he was tied to the enemy camp by his subordinates.

From then on, An Lushan attacked Chang'an. Without any obstacles, Li Longji had to take his guards and confidant to leave most of the eunuchs, palace maids, and even the royal family members to escape secretly.

Then, the Mawei Post Office Incident came later.

Not only was Yang Guozhong himself chopped his head by the rebel soldiers, but Yang Yuhuan was also injured and killed.

It can be said that the reason why the Anshi Rebellion had such great influence was that the Tang Dynasty declined from prosperity was not because An Lushan was so powerful and powerful.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were quite a few people who could quell the chaos.

But the problem is that even the powerful generals can't withstand the attacks of their allies.

What's more, whether it is Li Longji or Yang Guozhong, they are not ally of the general, but of the general's boss.

I was stuck with such an enemy who protected me and attacked my immediate superiors, let alone Geshuhan, Gao Xianzhi, even Bai Qi, Li Jing, and even Lian Po and Li Mu could not withstand it.

Perhaps only those who can go against the will of heaven can only be good at military tactics like Sun Wu and Guiguzi.

This is just about it.

As for whether it can be done, it will take another fight to know.

To be honest, even An Lushan probably didn't expect that he could win in a row, defeat several famous generals, and successfully attack Chang'an.

If you want to reward merits, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong are his greatest heroes.

From this point we can see how stupid Li Longji was during the Anshi Rebellion, and how incompetent Yang Guozhong was to make a card game in one hand and lose.

However, Yang Guozhong, who is a waste snack, did not know that he was jumping up and down now, taking an unshakable step towards the abyss of death.

As a person without self-knowledge, of course he cannot know that his behavior is basically to keep committing suicide.

Now he is constantly excited to eliminate An Lushan.

However, in front of the emperor, Yang Guozhong could not say that I came up with this idea just to force An Lushan, so he turned his eyes around and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Li Longji said: "Tell me."

Yang Guozhong said: "The emperor can order An Lushan to meet him without mentioning the rebellion. He said that the empress liked the gift he gave at the Blissom Banquet and wanted to give him a gift. The emperor could also imply that he would give An Lushan a title in the imperial edict."

"As long as An Lushan comes to Chang'an, his life and death will be under your control of the emperor."

"Your Majesty, how you want to rub An Lushan, just rub An Lushan. Even the emperor can imprison him in Chang'an City and deprive him of all his rights."

When Li Longji heard this, he thought this idea was good.

Chang'an City is his territory. As long as An Lushan dares to come to Chang'an City, he will have a hundred ways to subdue An Lushan.

So he immediately issued an imperial edict and ordered people to send it to An Lushan's lair with rush.

As for Yang Guozhong, who succeeded in his plan, he left the palace excitedly and returned home.

On the way, Yang Guozhong kept sneering. He had already thought about it. Once An Lushan came to Chang'an and fell into his hands, he would definitely treat this old thing well.

After he loses favor, he will return the resentment he has suffered over the years to An Lushan bit by bit.

He will let An Lushan know what it means to live, not to die, not to live.

Then at this moment, the carriage suddenly shook lightly and stopped.

Yang Guozhong couldn't help but be stunned, raised his head and scolded through the curtain: "Yang San, why did you stop the car?"

Yang San is his confidant, and his groom.

Yang Guozhong waited for a few seconds but did not hear Yang San's response. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. When did Yang San be so brave that he dared to ignore his own questions?

Anger swelled up in his heart, and he stood up and lifted the curtain, "Yang San, I'll ask you..."

However, the next second, Yang Guozhong's speech came completely.

Because he found that there was no one in front of him.

Yang San, who was supposed to be sitting in the coachman's position, disappeared.

But this is nothing. Apart from Yang San, even the guards around him disappeared. What's even more terrifying is that the pedestrians on the street are gone.

This street is Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in Chang'an City.

He returned from the palace to his prime minister's mansion and passed through this street every time.

In this street, except at night, the most common thing in the rest of the world is people. There are so many pedestrians coming and going, with loud and noisy sounds.

But now, all the pedestrians are gone.

Not only the pedestrians on the street, but also the restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street are empty.

Yang Guozhong stood in the carriage and could even see a cup of steaming hot tea on the table in a teahouse. Slightly hot steam steamed from the tea cup.

There was originally a tea drinker sitting here, but now the tea drinker is gone.

The pedestrians on the street, the rich drinkers, the children laughing, the martial artists, the walking merchants, the graceful women, and the people they could see in the past are now gone.

Yang Guozhong looked at him and found that there was only one person on the entire street.

That's himself.

In the air, apart from his breathing, it was so quiet that it was scary.
